Need help with Android SDK

[Guest ThermalDroid]

I'm trying to download the Android repository but when I do I get a 'Parse XML' and it freezes.

I get this in my terminal window:

Exception in thread "Loading Source" java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementNSImpl.getTextContent()Ljava/lang/String;

	at com.android.sdklib.internal.repository.SdkSource.parsePackages(SdkSource.java:702)

	at com.android.sdklib.internal.repository.SdkSource.load(SdkSource.java:429)

You probably want it for ADB, right?

There are alot of ''How-to''s on the net on how to do that.

Just make sure you have the latest Java JDK and JRE (If you have 64-bit computer, you need to install both the 32- and 64-bit versions).

Have you figured this one out in the end? I'm struggling with the same issue and couldn't find a suitable solution out there.

Never mind, I had a custom xerces.jar in /library/java/extensions. Removed and now it works.
